Growlanser WOT reminds me of a love child spawned from an orgy involving Chrono trigger,Suikoden 2,Persona 4, FF tactics, and Mass Effect. It really is that good!

Theaters must trigger some sort of weird psychosis within me,Julian. lol. I say that because there are other places I'm perfectely fine playing my psp. Besides, people are so busy on their smart phones 30 minutes before the movie starts I bet they wouldn't notice me anyway. The anxiety I feel seems very ill founded and kind of silly.

I found the worst thing that contributed to my back-logs was getting a new rpg every month. It's better to break up time with rpgs with shorter games that are easier to put down. Then again, you have weird hybrid games such as Borderlands 2 that disguise themselves as fpses while still having enough rpg elements and side quests to completely take over your life.

I remember Eva being very sexy in MGS 3. lol. There was at least one scene with her wearing a bikini. A part of me thinks yeah,Quiet was made attractive to help MGS5 sell better. But another part of me knows she'll have more to her as a character than simply "looking good". For example,Raiden was a total joke character for me for awhile. He was remembered mainly for running around naked and looking bishonen. But then it was revealed he was a clone of Snake, had a pregnant girlfriend named Rosemary, and eventually he became a bad-ass cyborg. What I'm saying is I'm glad my first impression of Raiden wasn't set in stone. He turned out to be a deceptively deep and very human character.

As for "Highschool Of The Dead" it's exactly why I didn't freak over Quiet. lol. Quiet is rather "vanilla" compared to the panty shots,jiggle boobs,and other fan-service in HOTD. Personally I could shrug off the fanservice but I did wish several times the kids had gone up against something more creative than standard zombies. What about Asian themed vampires,flying bat mutants, or werewolves? Horror has a diverse bestiary of monsters if illustrators and writers would bother using it!

I swear metaphorical skins are getting thinner and thinner,mate. I agree with you 100%!

I learned long ago "the perfect character" doesn't exist. No matter how thoughtful you are someone is going to take offense,JB. All you can hope to do is create a fictional world honest to yourself and for those people who will actually enjoy it!

What gets me is when social justice warriors (only referring to the folks who take it too far) try to label me as "childish" for liking anything heterosexual men would like. Everything is objectfication this or sexism that. And if you politely disagree with these people you'll get labelled as a misogynist beast,Ceva. It's all so ridiculous. We cannot even have a mature discussion about this without assumptions and blanket statements being flung around like bladed frisbees!

That's what infuriated me. When I saw Quiet intially I was like "Oh,another Kojima design!" and didn't even bat an eye. Then suddenly David Ellis (He worked on a couple of Halo related projects as a producer for 343 studios) labels Quiet's design as disgusting on twitter and Gamespot is all over the tweet like flies drawn to shit. A few years ago this kind of stuff would be a non issue,Chris.

It's a turbulent issue. There are times I feel as if gaming has become more accepted but there are other times I think it's vilified just as much as it was during the early 90's when Mortal Kombat was all the rage!

You have a point,Andrew. But I still find the bickering exhausting regardless if its' more about smart phones or videogames. lol.

It's kind of complicated. Sure,maybe this guy James is describing is a momma's boy with arrested development issues. However, I've also been in situations where it was difficult to choose what to do for enertainment based on my income. There are pros and cons to both getting another game and spending that same cash on socializing and going out with friends. One thing that hinders me is being a pedestrian. My friends mostly have vehicles and they cannot seem to grasp I'm more reclusive simply because my transportation options are limited. I used to pay for their gas when they came to see me but eventually they stopped calling and stopped visiting. I don't know if this was due to classism or simply distance. Probably the later! My friends were good people and I'd hesitate to label them as snobs.

  Beyond that I was pretty happy to discover a cheap movie theater and the fact the new laundry-mat has a bar and lounge to make interacting with people more natural. But if those places ever closed down I'd go back to being a loner because of the situation as opposed to it being my personal choice.
